An elder perspective

Pjila’si – Welcome

As First Nations and Inuit we are now entering an exciting time filled with opportunity as we travel the journey of economic reconciliation, inherent rights, Aboriginal Title and claims. There is much to understand and be informed about as we travel this journey.

This web site will focus on information about what is happening in First Nation communities across Canada including ours here at Pabineau First Nation. We will also provide information on what is happening in other countries affecting Indigenous Peoples.

Your comments, wisdom and knowledge are appreciated so please comment if appropriate.

Creator, we thank you for yesterday, we are grateful for today and hopeful for tomorrow.
